Below the belt ‘Good’ grief

Question: What is more disgusting, despicable and stupid: simulating oral sex for a primetime TV show? Or calling a reporter “disgusting,” “despicable” and “stupid” for asking a question about it?

This week, TV reporters were invited to a screening of unedited clips from the upcoming season premiere of “The Good Wife” starring Julianna Margulies and the former and future Mr. Big, Chris Noth.

Margulies, who was there with other cast members to answer questions afterwards, bragged, “I think that is the first time network television has had an oral sex scene! No? It was pretty racy!” Definitely something to put on the old resume.

The reporter from the AP — seemingly unaware that sex scenes between “legitimate” actors is high art and not soft porn — had the nerve to ask, “Have you researched that, Julianna? Is that the first time there has been an oral sex scene on a network television show?”

The question, however innocent, caused Margulies to erupt like a BP oil well.

“Honestly, is that the question you are going to ask me? That is despicable,” she seethed.

When reminded that he hadn’t brought it up, she snapped, “That is disgusting! This is what media is now? That is truly the stupidest question I have ever heard . . . I’m insulted right now. Oh, my God. It’s bad enough we have ‘Jersey Shore.’ ”

Yeah? Well, think how insulted Snooki is right now! Sex scene sans spray tan? Disgusting, despicable and stupid.

Cancer is the New Black: When did cancer become the disease of midlife crisis dramadies?

First, there was “Breaking Bad” with Bryan Cranston as Walt, teacher/drug lord/Stage III cancer victim whose fatal diagnosis let him make merry with the meth. Fortunately for Walt, his cancer went into remission when ratings skyrocketed.

Now we have Laura Linney, as Cathy, teacher/wife/cancer patient in “The Big C” who kicks up her red heels and lets her inner midlife crisis fly when she learns that she, too, is terminal.

If you’ve ever lost a loved one to this hilarious disease, you know what fun it really is. Remission or death for Cathy? That depends on the ratings.

“America’s Got Annoying”: My joy at the two creepy kid acts — ballroom dancers Anna & Patryk and rapper CJ Dippa — getting the boot from “America’s Got Talent” was short-lived.

The miniature adults, who remind me of scary dolls, were all set to come back last night in a wildcard show.

Too-old-to-be-12 Anna and Patryk are just creepy. The kids wear stretch pants and Capezios! They look like dancing vampires.

But most unforgivable is bringing back 11-year-old Dippa. I hate that kid! He’s the most annoying small ham on TV since Miley Cyrus.

Doesn’t anyone fear that he could grow up to be Vanilla Ice? Vanilla Ice Milk.
